Zayn Malik's younger sister Safaa, 17, has married her boyfriend.

The couple tied the knot in a traditional Nikah ceremony in Bradford, surrounded by their family.

Zayn reportedly wasn’t present at the celebrations, but his mum Trisha shared a series of photos of the couple with her 455k Instagram followers, which Zayn’s ex Gigi Hadid liked.

Trisha captioned the upload: “My baby girl’s big day.”

In the pictures, Safaa looked stunning in an embellished gold and white traditional gown as her mother posed proudly beside her.

The teenager wore her hair in a long plait adorned with little white flowers over her shoulder and had an intricate henna design inked on her hand.

Zayn’s mum’s album of pictures also showed the pop star’s other sisters Doniya and Waliyha at the big day and a sweet snap of the newlyweds cutting their cake.

The family’s pop star son has been noticeably absent from social media in recent weeks, but in August fans grew excited he might be soon announcing a tour after seeing that the tour section of his website says “coming soon”.

However, many fans commented his website has had the same notice since 2016.
